I don't see any hair, or a hare. What's with the title?
It's an old, old saying. When someone get a sudden urge to do something out of the
ordinary, it's called, "Getting a wild hair!"

If you have a branch of Barnes and Noble near you they stock a whole bunch of English language photo magazines. Most are from the UK, well written, with old and new tips on photography, as well as long articles. Some of the magazines are aimed at one make of camera, others wider ranging on digital photography in general. I enjoy reading two in particular and have a regular order: Digital Photographer, and Photo Professional. My grand-daughter devours them after me. LOL! I have been told you can get many photo magazines shipped direct to you from the UK and it is less costly. I guess you can Google 'photo magazines UK' for details.

I go to Barnes and Noble every month and buy PhotoPlus The Canon Magazine ($14.99), Practical Photography ($11.99) and Digital Camera World ($14.99); all UK Publications and, to me, well worth the price. I currently subscribe to Shutterbug and Outdoor Photographer but probably won't renew. Going to Google 'photo magazines UK' and see what I come up with.

Well, I also think we could rename it; because trains also begin trips from Grand Central, how about Grand Central Original (from Originate).
Or maybe, if you're not going all the way to the west coast, it could be named Grand Central Partial.
In the end, most of us know it as Grand Central Station... not Post Office.
Over... and Out
In aviation parlance the word OVER means, "My transmission has ended and I expect a reply from you." The word OUT means, "My transmission has ended
and I expect NO reply from you." Over and Out is somewhat confusing then. You hear a lot of Over and Outs in the old WWII movies.

Question: How can you remove a stuck filter from your lens? I have tried the old "rubber band trick" but it is still stuck. Would W-D40 damage the lens if it was sprayed on the filter threads?
I've used the rubber sole of my sneakers. No damage to the filter...so far.
Don't know about the Chevy's year but there's another error in Shutterbug's February 2018 issue. On page 44, the writer Ron Leach wrongly identifies a White Ibis as an Egret. Kinda makes me wonder about the accuracy of all other articles found in Shutterbug.

Thank you all for your responses. Now comes the hard part....deciding! At this point I think the 16-300 wins!
I don't think you'll be disappointed with the 16-300.

Specific information - the opposite of ignorance. Wow! Nebulous would be the better opposite
of specific.
Earlier in this particular thread I saw a couple of references made to Fords and Chevys. Later,
on Pg. 9, I read the comments of IBM on his ''just buy a camera'' mindset. To me that way of
thinking is akin to buying a pig in a poke. I attempted to make an analogy of IBM's methods
by substituting car for camera. Amazingly, you failed to pick up on the analogy.
I've gone back through the thread, noted your responses to other folks entries and have come
away with the feeling that in some instances you might be thinking of yourself as the world's
foremost authority. Because of that, I will now defer to your superior ignorance and bid you
goodbye.

I do research before purchasing a car.
I assembled a fairly comprehensive spreadsheet comparing cameras before I purchased my Pentax K-30
You may make ignorant decisions if that is what you want
And you're entitled to may make ignorant responses, if that's what you want.
